THE GAMBLER Galas

In this gritty modern noir, Mark Wahlberg plays Jim Bennett, a whip-smart college professor caught up in the dangerous world of high-stakes underground gambling. His luck running out, Bennett finds himself pursued by local gangsters intent on sweating him out of every dime he owes. A stalking, haunted performance from Wahlberg is supported by a cast that includes John Goodman ,Brie Larson and Michael K. Williams. THE GAMBLER is a searing retelling of the classic 1974 film starring James Caan, and a tour de force brought to the screen by director Rupert Wyatt and writer William Monahan (THE DEPARTED).
